i bought one of these mini-buckers for a Sekova Les Paul gold top i have to repair. it matched up with the other one already installed and fit the trim rings perfectly. i need to fabricate a part for under the pickup for mounting to the guitar.

...because this one was too much $$$ (i did get a new pair of trim rings for the mini-buckers from this ebay seller).

I don't have anything like that lying around mate, but I have bought 5 different sets of pups from Warman Guitars and have been very pleased with ALL of them, they sell 2 different mini HB's ....poleless and regular, though I have not yet tried these.

Your wish is my command Hoax.The inductance is largely related to the number of windings in the pup coil and the strength of the magnet. This with how well coupled they are determine how much voltage output you will get from the pup when a string is vibrating above its poles.The more windings you have in a given space then the thinner and longer the coil wire has to be to get it all in. The resistance is proportional to length and inversely proportional to wire diameter squared so resistance increases for both thinner and longer wire. So the easy way of estimating if a pup has lots of windings is to measure its dc resistance.In relation to tone the inductance and resistance of the pup have an impact on the passive filtering within a guitar. Effectively the inductor and resistor are in series, the inductor's impedance increases with frequency and acts as a filter so in general the more windings the lower the frequency at which this will become noticeable so Sarge was kind of right.

Therefore all in all higher resistance pups will have higher output (if they have equivalent magnets and construction) and less treble.

As Grogg was saying, all the electrons go round the coil in a circle and the magnet tries to pull them into an almost teardrop shape. You can overcome it all by reducing your magnet pull or increasing the diameter of your wire. You see, you get nice round electrons and very bad tear shaped ones.

This is the last time I explain something as simple to someone so stupid!! I know that you are Northern, but you are beginning to take the piss!!

Fckd if I know what Grogg was on about (He'll be back on to Faradays in a minute) although I can tell from his paragraph spacing that he basically said hello, cut and paste something from somewhere, and then said goodbye. It is little wonder that you Sarge, and I remain as stupid as Stupid Jack McStupid.
